What is Single Session Therapy (SST)?
Single-Session Therapy (SST) is a focused form of therapy designed to last for just one session. If we haven’t met before, there will be less time to get to know one another or explore your background in depth as we would do in ongoing therapy.
​
To help us make the most of our time together, I’ll send you a questionnaire beforehand. This will help you clarify the issue you’d like to work on and give me an opportunity to prepare in advance. During the session, we’ll agree on what is realistically achievable and concentrate on that.
​
For some people a single session is enough. However, it’s true that a single session has its limits so additional support is always available.
​
Who is SST for?
​
SST may be particularly helpful if:
-
You’d like to try therapy before committing to a longer process.
-
You prefer therapy intermittently, as and when you need it.
-
You want support to work through a difficult decision.
-
You feel stuck or want to address relationship challenges.
-
You’re experiencing emotions like anxiety, guilt, shame, anger, or finding life hard to manage.
-
You’re looking for a reflective space for personal growth.
SST has some great advantages — it's efficient, affordable, and easy to access. Still, it’s not the right fit for everyone or every situation.
Research shows that simply attending one session can sometimes be enough to kick-start the process of making changes to your life.

The fee is £110 for an up to 90 minutes SST appointment.
